He was the OCA Chancellor, was involved in the financial scandal in the OCA a number of years ago, and was defrocked.

He was defrocked for his involvement in the financial scandal and this parish puts him in a position where he is involved with their finances ??? What were they thinking ???

A diocese needs a Bishop, the one in question has been without one for years. This is what happens when no shepherd is in the field to protect the flock. Enough said.

FatherGiryus:

Archbishop Dmitri was shepherding when the decision was made to allow RSK to serve at that parish. In fact, His Eminence took in RSK after he was removed as Chancellor, and resisted transferring him back to the Metropolitan when canonical charges were brought against him.

So, I'd say that the arrangement was made with a shepherd, and largely took place with a shepherd at the helm. The problem seems to have been that the shepherd got taken in by the wolf.
